Carry On a Folk Tradition with Fender's FB-59 Banjo

The Fender FB-59 Banjo is Fender's finest banjo. With a walnut resonator and brass tone ring, notes plucked on the FB-59 banjo ring loud and clear -- a must for banjo soloing over a booming bluegrass band. And with gold hardware and a rosewood fingerboard with deluxe flower pattern mother-of-pearl inlays, the FB-59 Banjo looks just as good as it sounds. A hardshell case is provided to help protect your investment as you carry this banjo wherever the road may take you.

Affordable Professional Banjo

The FB-59 Banjo is the perfect solution for anyone looking for a professional-grade banjo without spending a few grand. It packs all the features you find on high-end professional banjos at a much more affordable cost, and with Fender branding, you know you're purchasing from a company you can trust.

Equipped to Duel

As Fender's top-of-the-line banjo, the FB-59 sounds as good as any banjo on the market. The FB-59 conjures rich, luscious tones as you pluck its strings thanks to its walnut resonator and brass tone ring. That rich tone will surely come in handy the next time you find yourself in a duel with a rival 5-string picker.

Stunning Looks

A good folk instrument should look just as good as it sounds, bringing back memories of days gone by at first glance. And the FB-59 Banjo delivers in style with choice woods, gold hardware, and gorgeous mother-of-pearl fretboard inlays. Whether you're looking for a new instrument or a piece of multi-functional folk art, the FB-59 Banjo is a folk instrument which appeals to all the senses.

"Fender FB59 Banjo"

Overall:
I just received my banjo last week. My first impression was the amount of packaging it was in for protection. Well packed. I opened it and the picture does not do it justice. It is a beautiful Banjo. I thought it was going to be to heavy for me but I can handle it pretty good. I have to have a strap for support because it is heavy. I had to put the bridge on. I watched you tube to make sure I did it right. The fifth string was tough to get in tune. I broke it. I purchased another set of strings and when I put the string on it went right in tune with my electric tuner. I am very happy with this instrument and I would recommend it and ZZ sounds to anyone. I will be buying more from them.

Thank you. Your vote has been counted. Could you briefly tell us why the review was or was not helpful?

"Fender FB59 5 string banjo"

Overall:
I received my banjo 2 days earlier than what was scheduled. As usual it was well packed as is all of zZounds instruments. This is one beautiful instrument. Although it is made in China, it is flawless. The fit and finish are perfect. The only thing I found wrong with it was that the strings were way too high off the fretboard and I cannot find anyone who knows how to lower the action. I have played the 5 string banjo in the past so I am no novice on picking one. I have purchased several instruments from zZounds and they are tops in providing top quality instruments and getting them to you in a quick and timely manner. I will continue to purchase instruments and accessories from what I consider to be the best internet provider of excellent quality musical instruments. Give zZounds a try. I promise you will be very pleased with their service. The only reason I gave 1 star to manufacturer support is because I haven't had a reason to use it.
